As a REGNUMcorrespondent has been informed by Deputy Head of Archangelsk Trade Fleet Viktor Loshchevsky, they received information about an upcoming storm in Spitsbergen region. Our ship is anchored, so when the storm starts, it can crash on a nearby rocks. To prevent this, the ship must weigh anchor and leave the coastal territory. However, we must wait for the instructions of our Foreign Ministry. We have sent messages to Sergey Lavrov (Russia’s Foreign Minister) and Stanislav Ilyasov (Head of Russia’s Fisheries Agency), so we wait for their instructions, he said.
